I have been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to travel the world and come in contact with many different cultures and people.

I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.

A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy.

The love I have for my daughter is completely unconditional, and it is the most important love in my life.

I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.

Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.

My mother loved everyone she came in contact with. She always shared her love and was able to heal those around her with it.
